Where is your child on the T.T. spectrum?

I think Jude's entered into the terrible twos now. UGH. He's really showing me he wants to be independent....with vengence.

He tried to get him into the grocery cart yesterday and he fought me tooth and nail and ended up kicking me in the ear. He's thrown himself in the street. Telling me he doesn't want to take a nap......and on and on..........

Eli's right in the middle of the terrible 2's as well. With my kids this stage seems to last from around 18 months to about 3.5 . I'm hoping Eli doesn't last as long as Daryn did.

[Aynber]

Oh, we're there. He wants my food, my drink, he doesn't want to change his clothes, for some reason he doesn't want his diaper changed anymore. How long does this last?

Addie has her moments, for sure. Today she kept going in her room and putting on shirts, then she'd get her arm stuck in the neck hole and make me fix it. I kept telling her no more and then after the 3rd time she did it I told her I wasn't fixing it and she threw a huge fit..started screaming and flailing around and then she smacked me in the face. She got time out for that one..normally I ignore her tantrums but hitting is where I draw the line.

Ugh....I feel like she's been having these moments since she was 18 months old. Most of the time she's good, and then when it's bad....it's BAD! Hope it doesn't last long, lol.

As long as Morgan gets her way she is fine LOL
Morgans not a throw myself on the floor kicking and screaming kinda kid. She is more get into things I shouldnt and do things I shouldnt kinda kid. She is sneaky. She will cry if I take something away but not for very long. She has also now (coping Blair) run to her room crying and shuts the door. By the time I follow her in there she is jumping in the bed laughing....

She is also better when Blair is at school. I let them help me do stuff. Well spiting it between the two is hard for Morgan when she is use to being here with me without Blair. She also plays better by herself than with Blair. They fight, get wild, and tattle tail the whole time. So Summer should be interesting.

Same with J...exactly.

She def has her moments and right now she is totally Miss Independant. For the most part, if it's something harmless, i let it go and allow her to do it herself but otherwise, the only way she would listen to me and be convinced that *I* have to help her is if I make it dramatic about how she could fall, hurt herself and have a boboo. I hate that i have to do that cause i dont want to scare her but when she's in the middle of the store, creating a scene, that's my way out of it!

Also what seems to be working is when I tell her she's hurting me (as in hurting my feelings) and making me "very sad". she hates seeing me in pain or upset, so she starts crying and saying nooo mommy be happy please and then makes me do the "happy" face (i just have to make a silly face) and then will end up listening if I give her the "happy" face.

Such silly tactics but when you're desperate, you're willing to try anything! lol

If Addie is being stubborn or crazy I will stick out my lip and whimper and tell her the same thing..that she is hurting my feelings and she stops and hugs me and says "Me sorry mommy". It works like a charm about 90% of the time. I know one day she won't care but for now I totally use it on her, lol.

O yeah - we're so there - it's been this way since about 18 months too - She's usually good - but we get a lot of "I don't like..." or "I do myself.."

[Koti]

Simon is an absolute turd. Today I took him.to my mom for a few hours. I wanted to use the bathroom in peace. That desperate.

[Amazona]

I thought of putting him up for sale on the street more times than I can count

Does that count as a description?

[karenwalter]

Yep, Connor's in it too. I keep telling DH that if I wasn't pregnant already we wouldn't be having another one for a looooooong time.
